[Verse 1]
Go Gfetch to Emme a Cpint o Gwine,
And Cfill it Amin a Csilver Dtassie;
GThat I may Emdrink, Cbefore I Ggo,
A Cservice Amto my Cbonie Dlassie:
The Gboat rocks Emat the CPier o' GLeith,
Fu' Cloud the wind Amblaws Cfrae the DFerry,
The Gship rides Emby the CBerwick-Glaw,
And I Cmaun Amleave Cmy bony DMary.
[Verse 2]
The Gtrumpets Emsound, Cthe banners Gfly,
The Cglittering Amspears Care ranked Dready,
The Gshouts o' Emwar are Cheard aGfar,
The Cbattle Amcloses Cdeep and Dbloody.
It's Gnot the Emroar o' Csea or Gshore,
Wad Cmake me Amlanger Cwish to Dtarry;
Nor Gshouts o' Emwar that's Cheard aGfar-
It's lCeaving Amthee, my Cbony DMary!

[Verse 1]

G Em C G

Go fetch to me a pint o wine,

C Am C D

And fill it in a silver tassie;

G Em C G

That I may drink, before I go,

C Am C D

A service to my bonie lassie:

G Em C G

The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,

C Am C D

Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,

G Em C G

The ship rides by the Berwick-law,

C Am C D

And I maun leave my bony Mary.

[Verse 2]

G Em C G

The trumpets sound, the banners fly,

C Am C D

The glittering spears are ranked ready,

G Em C G

The shouts o' war are heard afar,

C Am C D

The battle closes deep and bloody.

G Em C G

It's not the roar o' sea or shore,

C Am C D

Wad make me langer wish to tarry;

G Em C G

Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar-

C Am C D

It's leaving thee, my bony Mary!
